The Carver M-1.5 and M-200 amplifiers used two large Capacitors for the High Voltage Rail.  While these capacitors can still be purchased, the pricing, delivery times, and minimum order quantities are extremely prohibitive!

This PCB solution provides a quick and easy way to replace these aging capacitors with newer, easily available, and much lower cost capacitors. For best results using this PCB kit, I suggest you purchase the following capacitors:

For the M-1.5t amp:

C1 Thru C4 can be 4 pcs  3900uf 160v  LLG2C392MELC50  OR ESMQ161VSN392MA50S

For the M-200t amp:

C1 Thru C4 can be 4 pcs  3300uf 63v  LLS1J332MELA  OR  LLS1J332MELB  OR  LLS1J332MELZ

These capacitors are available from Mouser & Digi-Key and usually in stock!  You can use other brands, but you will want to check the lead spacing, lead diameter, and part diameter compared to the Nichicon parts for best results.

I can also sell you four of the 3300uf 63v capacitors separately, if you wish for about $ 4.00 per capacitor plus shipping. 

This M-Series PCB kit includes:

•1  High Voltage Rail capacitor PCB.

•1  5 Pos Terminal Strip with Gold plated screws.

•4  M3 Long Black Flange screws

•4  M3 Short Black Flange screws


•4  Black Nylon Hex spacers


•1  Detailed 8 Page Instructions with Color Photos.


The PCB was designed so that your re-assembly is quick and easy!!!
